It’s been a long time since the last MINI USA website tracking update, and I really hope that the car has been en route for a while already! It seems a curious coincidence that right after my comments yesterday, the website finally updates – but at least it has now updated!
464 / 492
With the introduction of the new 2016 MINI Clubman (and of course the cancellation of the old model a long time ago), there was a huge jump in Clubman sales for the last month of 2015:
Sadly, none of them were my new car which, according to the MINI USA Owner’s Lounge, remains “awaiting transport“! I find it very hard to believe that a newly built car has been sitting at the Southampton docks for more than two weeks, but there’s no other information available – even calling 1-866-ASK-MINI gave me nothing, since their computers were down today.
The VIN doesn’t show on the Wallenius Wilhelmsen tracking website which means either it IS still at the docks, or it’s sailing with a different company (like K Line) that doesn’t provide any tracking.
New Year 2016 at Magic Kingdom
We spent New Years Eve, evening, at Disney Magic Kingdom for their New Year fireworks show; very impressive!
The park felt much less packed than our last New Year trip (2011) but parking was very full and massive queues to leave so perhaps the design improvements around the castle just make it seem less crowded.
After the fireworks we were able to walk on, no lines at all, on Ariel, Small World, Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. We has maybe 20 minute queue for Winnie the Pooh.
Here’s a video compilation from the evening:
